Connecting modern computer equipment to proprietary, often old, infrastructure is a common requirement in military applications. For example, Sealevel was contacted by the manufacturer of a rugged, military computer server to design an interface to radio modems installed in aircraft.

Sealevels electrical team created an innovative design to implement the conversion from the tactical radios high-speed synchronous serial connection to a standard USB interface compatible with any PC. The heart of the design is an 8-bit microcontroller with integrated USB port and an FPGA.
